Except me.

I'll try to say it again - slowly - and more concisely. Bombs do not enter into it. Fuel and acks can be porked by strafing or by rockets. Perking bombs won't change your enemies ability to pork your field. Lazs said
beetles solution does nothing except get rid of pee 51's in the arena...
... and that's because my solution addresses a different problem - over use of the Big Three (or Four if you prefer, but mainly P51/Spit/LA7). I mentioned the TYPH because it
becomes one of the overused planes when someone decides to design a missun. I had a screenshot somewhere with 15 TYPHS on a missun - ridiculous.
The
reason that the P51 IS so popular/overused is because it is a good all round plane - fast, manoeuvrable, good fire power, and provides good survivability - in an environment in which 6-calls are not always forthcoming. It does carry bombs, but so do P47/P38/F4U/F6F/110 etc. I am not advocating that
those planes (or their bombs) should be perked at all. I have
never suggested that bombs should be perked. BTW, I have done plenty of de-acking and fuel porking, but only rarely used bombs.
I think it's time for you to lie down in that bed you made for yourself. I
didn't say what you really, really wanted me to have said, and you just can't face it but can't let this ¼ of a chance pass by. Remember that movie with Fred Astaire dancing on the wall while a guy played cards? Maybe he wasn't dancing on the wall, and it was the room that had been "twisted and turned" around. That would explain why, in the out take, the cards flew past the guys head when he let go of them. Think on the analogy for a while in relation to your comments about twisting and turning...
... and then put away your fishing tackle. It's a bad day, and the loch is as smooth as a mill pond. You've cast your line and caught nothing. And now even the worm on your hook is laughing at you.
And there I must take my leave of you. The warmer climes of Côte d'Azur beckon. See you on Thursday.
Toodle-Pip!
